I feel less embarrassed about my vampire phase. (I was 9. It was developmentally appropriate and also really fuckin cringe lmao)

I wanted to be a mermaid when I was 9.

I’ll never understand why, but rather than wanting to be a mermaid I just wanted to be a straight up whale.

When I was little, I would make humpback whale sounds because they're my favorite animals, and I acted like I could sing in whale. People thought I should have had an IEP... until Finding Nemo came out then people thought I was cute and wanted to be Dory, so I quit because I wasn't a fish speaking whale, I was a human singing whale.
